About this book
Fiona Collins retells traditional stories from North Wales, placing dragons, giants, wizards, witches and monsters among the region’s mountains, rivers and rolling hills. The collection also introduces the Tylwyth Teg, the Welsh fairies, alongside tales shaped by humour, cleverness and enchantment.
Written for children, these stories draw on the longstanding folklore of North Wales while presenting it in an accessible storytelling style. The tales move between human characters, legendary beings and magical happenings, with Ed Fisher’s illustrations accompanying Collins’s retellings. Together, they offer an introduction to the traditional stories associated with the region, where familiar landscapes become settings for adventures involving magic, danger, wit and wonder.
